Posh restaurant with great food. 7/20/2007

My husband and I went here for our anniversary dinner after hearing and reading reviews of this place. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, giving it a romantic and chic feel once you walk in. Our seats were not great, we were seated right in the corner where the wait staffs went to prepare tables and such - try to avoid this seat! We ordered the tuna tartare as an appetizer, I am a sushi lover and I have to say, that is a great dish - the sushi was very fresh. I ordered the duck and my husband order the steak. The portions were huge, my duck dish was literally half a duck. The breast was a bit dry but the drumstick was perfect. It has a sweet tang on the skin which helped with the gamey-ness of the duck however, I would not recommend this dish. On the other hand, my husband had the steak. The steak was cooked perfectly and the horseradish whipped potato was a perfect compliment to the dish. I'd have to say though, that other places we've been to such as Morton's, Capital Grill, Abe and Louie and etc. have better steak. Oh yes, we also had the creme brulee for dessert, it was creamy and the side fruit dish reminded us of a Hawaii trip we did. Overall, the experience was good despite not great service you would expect from a place like this. Definitely a place you should try once and make up their own decisions. I would not go back however since like I said, there are way better restaurants out there. Pros: Good food, romantic and chic ambience Cons: Service wasn't top notch more
